Description

Recombinant botulinum toxin and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a recombinant botulinum toxin and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin secreted by a clostridium botulinum bacterium and can be divided into a total of 7 serotypes a-G based on antigenicity. Botulinum toxin is strongly neurotoxic and can cause neuroparalysis at very small doses, and when a human ingests food containing botulinum toxin, the latency period is 6h to 12d, and clinical symptoms generally appear in 3 to 4d, and the patient finally dies due to respiratory failure. Botulinum toxin is very toxic, equivalent to ten thousand times that of potassium cyanide.
Clostridium botulinum itself produces a toxin protein complex of molecular weight 900kD, consisting of three parts, hemagglutinin protein (HA), non-toxin non-hemagglutinin protein (NTNH) and neurotoxic protein. The molecular weight of the neurotoxic protein is 150kD, the neurotoxic protein is produced by clostridium botulinum under anaerobic condition, and then the neurotoxic protein is digested by protease produced by clostridium botulinum to form light peptide and heavy peptide, wherein the light chain is close to the N end and is a catalytic domain, and the heavy chain is close to the C end and is a receptor binding domain. The heavy chain and the light chain are connected by disulfide bonds to form the toxic botulinum toxin. After humans eat food containing botulinum toxin by mistake, proteases in the digestive tract cannot degrade the food due to the presence of the protective protein, so that the active ingredient enters the blood through the intestinal wall; thereafter, through blood circulation, it binds to the receptor site of motor or sympathetic nerve cells, with the heavy chain binding to the receptor; botulinum toxin enters nerve cells by endocytosis of the nerve cells, and because a cytoplasmatic matrix presents a reductive environment, double bonds between a heavy chain and a light chain are reduced and opened, the light chain is released from a complex, and the snap-25 protein of a postsynaptic membrane is cleaved, so that synthesis of SNARE complex protein is prevented, release of acetylcholine is inhibited, serious paralysis symptoms of muscles are caused, and further respiration is inhibited, and death is caused.
Because of its neuroparalysis, botulinum toxin was initially used to treat facial muscle spasms and other muscle movement disorders, and the botulinum toxin was used to paralyze the muscle nerves in order to stop the muscle spasms. Botulinum toxin is also used in medical cosmetology to relax excessively contracted small muscles by blocking nerve impulses between nerves and muscles, thereby achieving a wrinkle-removing effect; or the characteristics of the muscle can be temporarily paralyzed to make the muscle shrink due to the loss of functions so as to achieve the purpose of sculpturing the body lines. In addition, botulinum toxin has effects of inhibiting limb cramps and anti-depression.
The existing extraction method of the botulinum toxin mainly comprises the steps of expressing proteins through anaerobic fermentation of clostridium botulinum, and purifying the proteins from a culture solution through multistage purification, namely, dialysis and a series of acid precipitation, wherein the method takes about 5 days from fermentation to final obtaining of the botulinum toxin proteins. The effective component obtained by the method is a 900kD botulinum toxin complex, and a part of lectin protein of the botulinum toxin is further removed by an ion exchange method to obtain a toxin complex of about 450 kD; and removing other proteins by changing the pH to obtain the botulinum toxin with 150 kD.
In situ extraction of botulinum toxin by Clostridium botulinum is a relatively traditional method, which is well established in theory. However, fermentation of clostridium botulinum requires a very strict anaerobic environment and is very temperature sensitive. Therefore, special fermentation equipment is required to perform large-scale production. In addition, since the expressed botulinum toxin does not carry an affinity chromatography tag, multiple purification steps are required in the extraction to obtain a relatively pure protein. Moreover, the longer the preparation process, the greater the probability of accidental contamination during the process due to the strong toxicity of botulinum toxin.
In addition to methods for in situ extraction of botulinum toxin by Clostridium botulinum, other chassis cells may be used to heterologously express recombinant botulinum toxin. Recombinant botulinum toxins are currently expressed in substantially all manner of cells of the chassis using E.coli. The method for preparing the botulinum toxin by the escherichia coli mainly comprises the following steps: the plasmid for expressing botulinum toxin is transferred into E.coli using plasmid transfection techniques and the 150kD botulinum neurotoxin is induced using an inducer (e.g., IPTG).
Existing recombinant expression of botulinum toxin is divided into two modes, single-stranded and double-stranded expression. Double-stranded expression was designed according to the existing protein structure (protein data bank id:3V 0C). In this structure, there is a distinct interaction site between the heavy and light chains. By co-expression, a botulinum toxin light-heavy chain complex can be obtained, and because of the cysteine residues at the carboxy terminus of the light chain and the amino terminus of the heavy chain, disulfide bonds can be formed between the light chain and the heavy chain, thereby forming an active protein complex. There is also a method of recombinant expression of single-chain botulinum toxin, but since Escherichia coli lacks necessary protease and cannot digest the full-length single-chain protein, it is necessary to introduce protease cleavage sites between the light chain and the heavy chain exogenously and activate the protein by in vitro cleavage. The activated protein has similar activity to commercial botulinum toxin products.
Although the recombinant expression of botulinum toxin by E.coli has the advantages of high speed and the like, in order to avoid introducing amino acid residues which are not present in the sequence of the botulinum toxin, protein without an affinity tag is expressed in the prior art, the purification method still mainly comprises ammonium sulfate precipitation, the process is complicated, and the botulinum toxin has high toxicity and still has the possibility of causing accidental pollution. Single chain fusion expression, however, entails the introduction of protease cleavage sites between the heavy and light chains, as well as additional amino acid residues. While the introduction of additional sequences may introduce unknown antigenicity, may elicit an unknown immune response after injection into the body, and may potentially adversely affect the body, no related products are currently approved for use, despite the fact that recombinant botulinum toxin has comparable activity to natural toxins.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a recombinant botulinum toxin and a preparation method thereof.
The invention aims to prepare the botulinum toxin protein with natural sequence and biological activity and realize efficient and stable expression of the protein in a biological chassis. For this purpose, the sequences of the heavy and light chains of the recombinant botulinum toxin are first specifically designed and optimized. In order to simplify the subsequent purification process and avoid introducing amino acid residues which are not present in the sequence of the botulinum toxin itself as much as possible, the invention adopts a double-stranded expression mode and introduces a protein tag. According to the invention, a great deal of researches show that in the process of double-chain expression of recombinant botulinum toxin, the expression quantity of the light chain is far higher than that of the heavy chain, so that the protein tag is added on the heavy chain, and the interference of redundant light chain on purification is reduced. During the introduction of protein tags and removal of tags, the introduction of amino acid residues that are not present in the sequence of the botulinum toxin itself is typically caused. The invention avoids the introduction of extra amino acid residues through sequence design.
Specifically, the invention provides the following technical scheme:
in a first aspect, the present invention provides a recombinant botulinum toxin comprising a heavy chain and a light chain linked by disulfide bonds; the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain sequentially comprises a protein tag sequence, an ENLYFQ polypeptide sequence and a heavy chain sequence of the botulinum toxin from the N end to the C end, wherein the 1 st amino acid of the N end of the heavy chain sequence of the botulinum toxin is glycine.
The protein tag introduced into the heavy chain sequence of the recombinant botulinum toxin can be any protein tag which facilitates protein purification, including but not limited to His-tag, gst, MBP, strep, flag and the like.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the protein tag is exemplified by His-tag, but is not limited to this in practical application.
The heavy chain sequence of the botulinum toxin can be the complete heavy chain sequence of the botulinum toxin or a part of the heavy chain sequence is intercepted, but the 1 st amino acid at the N end of the sequence needs to be ensured to be glycine, and the botulinum toxin has the activity after being connected with the light chain through disulfide bonds.
The heavy chain composition structure of the recombinant botulinum toxin provided by the invention is applicable to various serotypes of botulinum toxin (such as A type, E type and the like).
Specifically, for botulinum toxin A, the heavy chain is taken from the 445 th glycine of the full-length single chain of botulinum toxin A to the C-terminal, the N-terminal 6 amino acid residues of the cleavage sequence (ENLYFQ ∈G, arrow mark is the cleavage position) of TEV protease are introduced at the N-terminal of the 445 th glycine, and the protein tag sequence is introduced at the N-terminal 6 amino acid residues of the cleavage sequence of TEV protease. The sequence design ensures that the heavy chain is subjected to TEV enzyme digestion, no amino acid residues with the sequence which does not exist (namely, no artificially introduced protein tag sequence and enzyme digestion site sequence are remained, and the heavy chain of the botulinum toxin still maintains the original sequence), and the digested heavy chain has the biological activity of the natural botulinum toxin after being linked with the light chain through disulfide bonds.
In some embodiments of the invention, the heavy chain sequence of the botulinum toxin described above is the amino acid sequence from position 445 to position 1296 of botulinum toxin a.
Among the amino acid sequences 445 to 1296 of botulinum toxin A described above, amino acid 445 is glycine. The amino acid sequence from position 445 to position 1296 of botulinum toxin A may be the sequence of native botulinum toxin A (e.g., from position 445 to position 1296 of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1) or may be a mutated botulinum toxin A sequence, which still requires that the amino acid at position 445 be glycine and be capable of linking to the light chain to form a biologically active botulinum toxin.
In some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequences 445 to 1296 of botulinum toxin A described above are based on the botulinum toxin A sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 (the botulinum toxin encoding gene sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 is shown in SEQ ID NO.5, the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.5 is a sequence optimized for expression in E.coli). The amino acid sequences 445 to 1296 of botulinum toxin A may also be variants of the above amino acid sequences, provided that the 445 amino acid is glycine and is capable of linking with the light chain to form a biologically active botulinum toxin.
The recombinant botulinum toxin can be subjected to TEV protease digestion to generate the botulinum toxin with the protein tag sequence completely removed, and amino acid residues which are not existed in the sequence of the botulinum toxin can not be remained.
Preferably, the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain of the recombinant botulinum toxin further comprises a methionine in the direction from the N-terminus to the C-terminus and an amino acid sequence consisting of 1 to 3 amino acid residues other than cysteine at the N-terminus of the protein tag sequence;
in some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain is, in order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus: m-an amino acid sequence consisting of 1 to 3 amino acid residues except cysteine-a protein tag sequence-ENLYFQ-botulinum toxin heavy chain sequence (glycine G at position 1 of N-terminal).
In some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain is, in order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus: m-amino acid sequence consisting of 1 to 3 amino acid residues other than cysteine-protein tag sequence-amino acids 445 to 1296 of ENLYFQ-botulinum toxin A.
In some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain is, in order from the N-terminus to the C-terminus: MK-protein tag sequence-ENLYFQ-amino acids 445 to 1296 of botulinum toxin A.
In some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2.
The heavy chain amino acid sequence of the recombinant botulinum toxin is a sequence carrying a protein tag, the protein tag can be cut off by TEV protease enzyme, the heavy chain without the tag and the residual amino acid residue at the enzyme cutting site is produced, and antigenicity except the botulinum toxin is not produced.
Based on the heavy chain sequence, the invention tries to select and optimize the light chain sequence, and determines the position from the N end of the full-length single chain of the botulinum toxin to the 438 th lysine, so that the biological activity of the light chain can be well ensured by taking the heavy chain sequence as the light chain sequence. The light chain and the heavy chain designed above can form disulfide bonds with high efficiency, and the botulinum toxin with biological activity without introducing any amino acid residue which does not exist in the sequence of the botulinum toxin is generated after the light chain and the heavy chain are subjected to the enzyme digestion of TEV protease.
Preferably, in the recombinant botulinum toxin, the amino acid sequence of the light chain is from position 1 to position 438 of botulinum toxin a.
The amino acid sequences from position 1 to 438 of botulinum toxin A may be the sequence of native botulinum toxin A (e.g., positions 1 to 438 of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1), or may be the sequence of mutant botulinum toxin A, which is capable of forming a biologically active botulinum toxin by ligation to the heavy chain.
In some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the light chain is shown at positions 1 to 438 of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1.
The heavy and light chains described above retain the original cysteines at positions corresponding to the amino acids 430, 454 of the full length single chain of botulinum toxin A, so disulfide bonds may be formed between the light and heavy chains, and efficient disulfide bond formation is facilitated by the light and heavy chains of the design described above.
